my pal & colleague @iPodwiper made a good point on way home. Marc has finished 10/11 races so far & won 5 of them: 50% strike rate. Obscene.

Regarding Yamaha:

They only have one new engine left with 7 races to go. A single engine with the seamless gear box won't finish the season.

They need to fix the thing on the brakes for Vale, too. Ironically, that is what Spies complained about, too. And also what Vale complained about on the Ducati. Maybe that was a different kind of 'on the brakes problem?

On another note: I like all of the British riders. But the Moto Gp announcers spend so much time talking about them in such a very biased way, it makes me want to root against them.
